"The UK CANNOT effectively defend itself - but we really like to criticize other nations actions and call it inappropriate."

Can it even be called a navy if most of the ships aren't functional?

The fact that we only have one ship that we can send should scare the heck out of every Brit. 😮😮

That 35 billion promised for chagos needs to be spent on British defense, we don't need to pay chagos.

What the hell have our politicians done to the UK For many many years And the idiots that's in government are getting a pay rise. Bloody sacking is what about be happening

Virtue signalling clowns spent defence funds on migrant hotels buying votes instead of protecting the country!!

So, our 'warships' are 'state of the art', but can't be rapidly deployed...hmm......

A warship? 😂

Why wasn’t she in the Eastern Mediterranean?

Can it even be called a navy if most of the ships aren't functional?

Our whole armed forces are drastically understaffed and under financed!!! We couldn't fight any serious war !😡

The Royal Navy has more Admirals than frontline warships,the British Army has more horses that tanks & armoured vehicles and the Royal Air Force has only 100ish frontline fighter planes so its pretty poor for us isn't it. So the biggest threat to national security in the UK is the short sighted fools in Westminster.

soo... why does a UK RAF base not have the means to defend itself?

What I find hard to believe is the base in Cyprus appears to have no Radar able to pickup small drones traveling at low subsonic speed. Given the threats that have been around for the last few years. What a sad state of affairs.

My left ear loved this… :) Until the 4.5 Inch, course got nothing.

I saw footage of stationary float targets being engaged, but no actual drones. So how realistic was the gunnery exercise?

for something that's supposed to hit missiles traveling faster than sound alot of rounds missed the small boat standing still

Complete nonsense. What kind of kindergarten is this?😁 Do these descendants of Nelson think that the enemy will always attack during the day? Where are the night shootings? Where is the fog? Where firing at air targets and surface high-speed targets. Find a jet ski put a dummy torpedo and here is the target. Judging by the training, they wait until a drone from the sky or air makes them a hole below the waterline.🤮

All the while Miliband is closing down our Gas and oil supplies from our very own North Sea and the UK on shore fields. Positively a clinically insane nutcase.

North Sea Oil and North Sea Gas, simples!

Mean while we ignore the natural resources in the North Sea.

it simply begs the question, which is, what's the point having foreign based military bases, if we cannot defend them. what a farce.

The government is sending a navy ship to protect Cyprus??? Yet they fail to protect the UK? 😂😂😂😂

Britain hasn't failed Cyprus, Starmer has failed Cyprus, the same as he has failed everyone, except those who he bends his knee to.

just love the smell of cordite but then I was a gunnery rating crossed guns not what they got now days

Be better off doing drone drill. Grab anything, point it skywards and shoot.

Nice to see Martlet in use. We make some cool stuff.

The 30mm needs a twin feed system to switch between AP and air burst ammunition.

Y'ALL NEED SMART MUNITION.. ..
